Archer Aviation has formed a partnership Palantir Technologies Inc., aimed at laying the AI groundwork for the future of next-generation aviation.
The two companies will work together to harness Palantir’s powerful Foundry and AIP platforms to accelerate the scaling of Archer’s aircraft manufacturing at their Georgia and Silicon Valley facilities. The goal is to enhance the development of innovative software solutions that will drive improvements across the entire aviation value chain.
Key areas of focus include creating AI-powered software to optimize essential aviation systems, such as air traffic control, movement control, and route planning. By doing so, they aim to boost efficiency, safety, and affordability, making a profound impact on the broader aviation industry.
This partnership is set to be formalized at a signing ceremony between Palantir co-founder and CEO, Alex Karp, and Archer founder and CEO, Adam Goldstein, at Palantir’s AIPCon event.
Alex Karp said, “Palantir’s partnership with Archer is redefining the future of flight, making it not only more efficient but also more accessible. By integrating Palantir’s advanced AI capabilities with Archer’s innovative approach to aircraft manufacturing and operations, we are setting the stage for a transformative leap in efficiency, safety and sustainability.”
Adam Goldstein added, “While the aviation industry has an unmatched level of safety, much of the legacy technology supporting the industry has only incrementally advanced. AI and software present an inflection point that will shape the future of aviation. We’re proud to be partnering with Dr. Karp and the entire Palantir team to build the AI backbone for the next generation of aviation.”
